This review presents basic principles and methods of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and discusses a number of the latest papers on the possibilities, principles and stages of NGS, as well as the application of NGS in medical research, particularly, clinical microbiology and infectious diseases, epidemiology. The development of NGS technologies will allow improving the results of diagnostics, treatment and prevention of infectious diseases and opens up new prospects for personalized medicine.
